The number of people who could benefit from Somatic Abolitionism is vast, as it addresses both personal and collective trauma. On an individual level, people from all walks of life can experience the physical and emotional impacts of stress, trauma, or anxiety, and Somatic Abolitionism provides tools for healing these through body-based practices. Whether someone is dealing with trauma related to race, professional burnout, childhood experiences, or other stressors, this practice offers a holistic approach to healing.
On a collective level, organizations of all types can struggle because those within bring their trauma to work. By adopting embodied practices learned from Somatic Abolitionism, leaders can develop a culture of presence and increase its functionality, efficiency and overall well-being. It’s good for business!
Considering that around **70% of adults in the U.S.** report experiencing some form of trauma in their lifetime, according to the National Council for Behavioral Health, the potential impact of a practice like Somatic Abolitionism could be significant. Additionally, the **World Health Organization (WHO)** estimates that stress-related issues, including anxiety and depression, affect more than **264 million people worldwide**. Somatic practices aimed at emotional regulation, grounding, and mindfulness could benefit many of these individuals by offering alternative methods for managing and reducing stress.
While Somatic Abolitionism is particularly relevant to those affected by racialized trauma, its principles of healing, emotional intelligence, and resilience-building extend to anyone experiencing the mental and physical tolls of unprocessed trauma or chronic stress. Therefore, millions of people globally could potentially find value from integrating its methods into their daily lives for better overall well-being.

“Breathe. Let go. Remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.” – Oprah Winfrey
The breath is where everything begins. The deeper you breathe, the more you reoxygenate your bloodstream, which leads to greater mental clarity. Taking the time to breathe deeply is the foundation for the Seven Stages of Self-Orientation, a practice I write about in Orienting: Settling the Executive Body. This simple yet powerful act of mindful breathing creates the groundwork for centering your body and mind, preparing you to navigate life’s challenges with ease.
